August 10, 2020 T.R. Merickel, Chief Probation Officer Kern County Probation Department P.O. Box 3309 Bakersfield, CA 93385-3309 RE: KERN COUNTY 2018/2020 BIENNIAL INSPECTION PURSUANT TO WELFARE AND INSTITUTIONS CODE SECTION 209 AND 885 Dear Chief Merickel: The 2018/2020 biennial inspection of the Kern County Probation Department’s James G. Bowles Juvenile Hall, Larry J. Rhodes Crossroads Facility, and Camp Erwin Owen has been completed. A pre-inspection briefing was held on April 25, 2019 and the facilities were inspected December 2 through 6, 2019. The complete Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) inspection report is enclosed and consists of the following: this transmittal letter; a Title 15 Procedures checklist outlining applicable minimum standards for juvenile detention facilities; a Physical Plant Evaluation outlining applicable Title 24 minimum standards; and the Living Area Space Evaluation (LASE), summarizing the physical plant configuration and outlining the rated capacity of the James G. Bowles Juvenile Hall, Larry J. Rhodes Crossroads Facility, and Camp Erwin Owen. Please refer to the Title 15 Procedures checklists for a summary of all relevant minimum standards, indication of compliance or noncompliance, and information that was used to determine compliance. Mandatory Local Inspections In addition to the biennial inspection, Title 15, section 1313 and its authorizing statute also require local inspections conducted by the following local authorities: • county building inspector or person designated by the Board of Supervisors • fire authority having jurisdiction • local health officer • county Superintendent of Schools • Juvenile Court • Juvenile Justice Commission. Results of those inspections are considered a part of this report. The dates of the local inspections may be found in the accompanying Procedures Checklists. 7146+ Kern JH&Camps 18/20 LTR Chief Merickel 8/10/20 Page 2 Scope of the Inspection The inspection consisted of a review of the Kern County Policy and Procedure Manual1, a site visit to review operations, physical plants and relevant documentation, and interviews with administration, facility staff, youth and collaborative partners. During the inspection, we evaluated consistency between policy and practices. Inspection Results Title 15, CCR Minimum Standards During our inspection of the James G. Bowles Juvenile Hall, Larry J. Rhodes Crossroads Facility, and Camp Erwin Owen, we reviewed the facility policies and procedures manual. Our audit consisted of a review of only those policies and procedures related specifically to the applicable regulations included in Title 15, Minimum Standards for Juvenile Facilities. On the day of the inspections, we discussed several policies and procedures with staff and suggested edits which might bring more clarity and specificity to the manual. We also discussed the need to include the updated Title 15 language in the policy and procedure manual to be in line with regulations which became effective January 1, 2019. All other agreed-upon changes were completed prior to the submission of this report. During our tour of each facility, we reviewed: Shift Logs; youth files; incident reports; monthly inspection reports; fire drills; admittance, detention and classification information; assessments and plans; grievances; facility schedules; use of force and use of restraints and discipline documentation. We also talked with staff and youth throughout the facilities. Their interviews indicated that Title 15 regulations are being consistently followed. It should be noted our review of the use of force documentation revealed your staff at each facility are doing an exceptional job of using verbal commands to deescalate youth prior to going hands on or utilizing O.C. spray. Their efforts in this area is commendable. Upon final review of all documentation, there are no outstanding items of noncompliance with Title 15 at the James G. Bowles Juvenile Hall, Larry J. Rhodes Crossroads Facility, and Camp Erwin Owen. No corrective action is required at this time. Title 24, CCR Physical Plant There were no changes made to the physical plants and your rated capacity for the James G. Bowles Juvenile Hall remains 170, Larry J. Rhodes Crossroads Facility remains 120, and Camp Erwin Owen remains 125 youth. Please see the Physical Plant Evaluations for more information. There are no outstanding items of noncompliance with Title 24 minimum standards. 1 BSCC reviews only those policy and procedures required by, and applicable to, Title 15, CCR. BSCC staff do not “approve” policies and procedures or assess them for constitutional or legal issues. Agencies should seek review through their legal advisor, risk manager, and other persons deemed appropriate for such evaluation. 7146+ Kern JH&Camps 18/20 LTR Chief Merickel 8/10/20 Page 3 Training Per the most recent Standards and Training for Corrections audit, Kern County Probation Department is in compliance with all relevant regulations and mandates and mitigating circumstances if applicable.
